About Cornerstone

Cornerstone Church is much more than just another group of individuals associated together for social and benevolent purposes. The Cornerstone congregation is a collection of families, friends, neighbors, and citizens, who have voluntarily united themselves together as an organization of forgiven and empowered people. We are people who have been indwelt by God, through the Holy Spirit. We are people willing to let God work through us in the world. Cornerstone’s congregational members practice the discipline of Christianity and daily establish themselves in the Faith of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are committed to spreading that same Gospel to the ends of the earth. Our mission – our Great Commission – begins in Sioux City, Iowa. We are reaching the whole world, one person at a time.

What is a "Christian" Church?

A Biblical portrait of the local church

The laws of the Bible through which Christians unite themselves into an authentic local church of believers are summarized as follows:

The sole authority of the entire Bible, rightly divided, as the rule of faith and practice in life and conduct.

The law of love recognized as the highest and greatest law of the New Covenant, but only understood by and through the continuing reasonable obligations of the Ten Commandments.

The new birth and genuine Christian living as necessary to church membership.

Willful obedience to the Bible in all of its ordinances, doctrines, and laws.

Consecration to the will of God and to the end to which He is consecrated.

The freedom of conscience and personal responsibility to God and to one another.

Total independence from civil government interference, yet maintaining an interposing authority upon the civil government. Individual Christian citizens understand the proper use of civil authority according to God’s laws, which are fundamentally set-forth in the Ten Commandments. In short, when civil authorities violate the immutable principles of the Ten Commandments, a true Christian congregation will confront defiance and rebellion against God for the sake of the gospel and the common good.
